Did you read the part that explained that Benin founded and controlled Lagos…and Onitsha?

It even says that, like yours, many towns actualy owe their existence to us Binis.

You might not believe that article, so i found this page for you too:

The history of Onitsha began with the migration of its people from the Benin Empire towards the end of early part of the Sixteenth Century AD.

I’ll stop here…:o)

I’m not suprised by Benin’s generosity, as this is the type of charity i’d expect to find in a place that had the word God twice in it’s name…and i’m even less suprised that your Onitsha-self is ungrateful…:o)

I keep on through habit fitting an arrow to the string, then I remember and have to lay the bow down. So many roads lead thought to H. I set out on one of them.
